To aZlwhom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Louis I. Ween, citizen of the United States, residing at Clipper Mills, in the county of Butte and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cans and Faucets for Same, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to cans and faucets for the same, the primary object of the invention being to provide a can embodying a depressed cup in the top thereof, in conjunction with a faucet detacha'bly mounted in a socket in the bottom of the cup, and

adapted, when detached, to be housed entirely within said cup, so' as to offer :10 rojection beyond the natural confines of the can.

A further object of the invention is to provide in connection with such cup a carrying handle for the can, which is adapted to fold within the plane of-the cup, so as to offer no'projection which is liable to become broken or injured.

By means of the construction hereinafter described, cans may be equip ed with faucets and carrying handles which are capable of being housed entirely within the lines of the can, so as't'o ofier no projection whatever, thereby adding greatly to the portability and compactness of the can, adapting a large number of cans to be stored or packed in a comparatively small space, while pr'eserving the integrity and usefulness of the faucet and the carrying handle.

With the above and other objects in view,

the invention consists in the construction,

combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a plan view of a can, embodying the present invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the upper portion of the can, showing the faucet and handle housed therein. Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical section through the upper portion of the can, showing the cup, the faucet, the socket therefor, and the carrying handle. Fig. i is a vertical section through the cup, showing the manner of connecting the bandie thereto. 5"is'a plan View of the handle per 86. 1 lg. 6 is a plan view, show- 5 ing a slightly difierent arrangement of fancat and socket therefor.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates an ordinary liquid dispensing vessel in the inrnr of a square or rectangular can, having l the that parallel-sides, and flat top and bot tom.

l in carrying oht this invention, Iprovirle a cup- 2 which is located in the to of the can, said cup being depressedentire y below the plane of the to ()1 the can, so as to ro vide a flush top r the can, above w ich there isno projection whatever; 4 fhis, en-

{ ables a number of cans to be piled one'upon Ianother, Without any loss of space. In the pref rred en'ibotliinent of this invention, the cup 2, which is rectangular in shape, is constructed of sheet metal, and preferably stamped or pressed up from a single blank,

so as to comprise the four vertical sides 3, the-bottom 4', and a top flange 5 located at the top of the body of the cup, which flange is adapted to he soldered or otherwise permanently secured and sealed to the top of the can, which is of course firmed with an opening to receive said cup. It is, however, possible tofor'm said cup as an integral part of the can top proper by depressing a portion of said top, preferably adjacent to one corner, at which point it is desirable to locate the faucet, hereinafter described, so as to facilitate pouring oil the contents of the can.

In the bottom of the cup 2, there is at ranged an internally threaded socket 6.

tom wall 7, which is adapted, however, to be punctured by any suitable instrument, when it becomes necessary to pour off the contents of the can which, up to the time of uncturing the bottom 7, remain hermetical y sealed in the can. The socket 6 is provided at the top thereof with a flange S adapting the same to be securely fastened, as by solder, to the bottom wall of the cup 2, the socket extending down below the plane of the bottom of the cup, as clearly shown in the drawings.
